In Spanish we call 'taco shells' tortillas.

No we don't

 

It's how we call them in Argentina at least, and looking them up I'm seeing no other name for it beyond masa para tacos which is used rather interchangeably too. Where are you from and what do you call them where you're at?

 

Edit: Wikipedia's description:

 

 

 

Un taco es una preparación mexicana que en su forma estándar consiste en una tortilla (generalmente de maíz, también de harina de trigo, de nopal o de algún otro ingrediente) que contiene algún alimento dentro. Es considerado como uno de los platillos más representativos de la comida mexicana.

I think it's safe to assume that regardless of whether you call it something else where you're from, "tortilla" is a term used in Spanish to refer to taco shells. Granted that "tortilla" can also refer to the Spanish tortilla which is a very different food, but still it doesn't preclude the Mexican tortilla from being called the same.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
